#
[jgarber] [tantek] Thank you! It is indeed the first 1.x release for this gem.
#
[jgarber] I took a controversial approach to _not_ parse classic microformats so it’s not gonna be a tool to suit everyone. But, I wanted to challenge myself and see what I could make.

#
[tantek] I think it'll work great for common IndieWeb use-cases, without any need for fallback parsing like that.

#
KartikPrabhu also, mf1 parsing can be added as a separate thing. In mf2py it was much simpler to have it as a "separate" code

#
[tantek] sort of. I'm pretty sure the parser relies on knowing *where* classes/properties came from (whether backcompat or not), not just renaming into equivalents
#
[tantek] so you can't really do a "pre-processor" as it were, without parsing both the mf1 and mf2 anyway and that point you've already done all the work
#
[tantek] jgarber++ great job and nice README too. made a couple of minor suggestions if you like! (pull request)

Loqi jgarber has 4 karma over the last year

[jgarber] [tantek] Thanks! I’ll give your PR a look later today.

#
[KevinMarks] The python backward compatible parser does look for specific classes (and rels) and adds mf2 classes accordingly. I was able to use it as a remapper for silo markup by adding to that data structure
#
[KevinMarks] Eg https://github.com/microformats/mf2py/blob/master/mf2py/backcompat-rules/hreview.json
#
[KevinMarks] So you could take that approach in another language if you can port the dom modifying that this is doing using the same mappings https://github.com/microformats/mf2py/blob/master/mf2py/backcompat.py

#
[tantek] as long as you keep track of where those classes came from, yes
